I just updated to these versions and the problem is still the same. I 
cannot find a yahoo landsat entry in the seetings, but my Landsat URL is 
this: 
http://onearth.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?request=GetMap&layers=global_mosaic&styles=&srs=EPSG:4326&format=image/jpeg

When using it, I get still the error message that the URL does not end 
with either ? or &, which is of course correct ?!? Maybe I somehow 
screwed up the settings, but I just updated the plugin.
